We performed a comparison between OpenShift and SAP Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"What I like best about OpenShift is that it can reduce some of the costs of having multiple applications because you can just move them into small container applications. For example, applications don't need to run for twenty days, only to be used up by Monday. Through OpenShift, you can move some of the small applications into any cloud. I also find the design of OpenShift good."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"The stability has been good."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The solution is scalable."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The solution can scale."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"There have been some issues with security, in particular, that we had to address. At times they make it “clunky." I am quite confident these parameters will appear in the next releases. They have been reported as bugs and are actually in process."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"OpenShift can improve monitoring. Sometimes there are issues. Additionally, the solution could benefit from protective tools if something was to happen in our network."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
